La Guerre Est Finie

**A stylistically daring story of an aging revolutionist re-examines his life in the wake of several unusual incidents. The film starts slowly examining each character and interaction with a methodical urgency. Diago is stopped at the Spanish border and seems worried. He's become known to the Spanish authorities and has become a detriment to the cause. In France he becomes torn between his love for a young activist and his longtime lover. Renais uses jump-cuts, voice-overs and disolves to tell his story and the complexity makes it visually exciting. However the film's real power comes from its subtle emotional suspense. Renais creates fully realized characters bursting with complications and contradictions. The result is a film that moves slowly, creating tension through the reactions to events. A brilliant film in which every scene is important to the next, and this puzzle pays off in a dynamite conclusion.
